Johnson Artists as Explorers This lesson for middle school students examines the role some artists assume as explorers of far away places, recording, through their writing and art, the people, places and things they witness. Time: hour. Materials This painting is typical of Weeks’ artworks that portray the romance of travel. This is a Image of Ship of the Desert relatively early work of his, perhaps inspired by his first trip to the Middle East. In this by Edwin Lord Weeks painting, we see how the artist was particularly fascinated with those aspects of ancient Computers Middle Eastern life that survived into modern times, and recorded them in scenes that Internet access varied from simple street, desert, and market settings to elaborate court ceremonies. Weeks had an exceptional eye for detail but his best works display a unique blending of careful, factual recording of people and places. Vocabulary Anthropology – The study of customs, characteristics and intercultural comparisons of humankind. Expedition Art – Art made during the mid eighteenth century by artists who teamed with natural scientists and explorers to record the natural world as they witnessed it during their travels. Orientalist – Nineteenth century artists and writers whose work focused on subjects related to the Middle East, which at that time was referred to as the Orient. Objectives Research the writings and illustrations of European explorers regarding the people, animals and cultures they encountered during their explorations. Look for examples which accurately depicted what they encountered on these journeys. Also look for instances in which erroneous information from the explorers led to negative European attitudes and stereotypes foreign cultures. Examine the life of Edwin Lord Weeks, focusing on how his travels were important to his. Research the writings and illustrations of American explorers, such as Lewis and Clark. Study the written and artistic docu- mentation from their expeditions. How did this documentation, accurate and inaccurate, affect general American attitudes and stereotypes about the west? Development Artist and Explorers We are all familiar with stories of explorers like Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, and Vasco da Gama, among others. Their stories about distant places, the people who lived there and the customs by which they lived, are legendary. 3 Some explorers were artists, some took along an artist to record their travels, and shared with the public upon their return home. The illustrations of the people and animals, of America and Africa, were of great interest to Europeans. In some cases, the information was accurately reported and other cases distorted. Research the writings and drawings of explorers and those who accompanied them. Look for examples that authentically represented what the explorers found and other examples, which were inaccurate and gave a false impression to Europe- ans about what the explorers found. Edwin Lord Weeks is an example of an artist who became an explorer because of his desire to capture the “exotic” world in his art. Born in Boston and trained as a painter in Europe, he was intrigued by travel into north Africa, the Middle East and India. He was among a group of nineteenth century artists called Orientalists, who documented the people, places and cus- toms of what was then known as the Orient. Weeks was committed to documenting the Orient from first hand observation. In some cases, he and his companions were among the first westerners to visit places. To get to such distant locales, he had to endure life threatening hardships that often accompany such extensive travel. Weeks survived typhoid fever, famine, natural disasters and encounters with groups hostile to his presence. He was an avid mountain climber, which added to his reputation as an adventurer. Weeks was also a published author, writing and illustrating articles for popular magazines of his day, and creating an illustrated book of his four-year adventure traveling through Persia (now Iran) and India. Examine the painting, Ship of the Desert, completed in 874, less than a decade after the American Civil War. Why would the artist title this painting as he did, when there is obviously little water in the desert? In what ways is the camel like a ship? How is the desert like a body of water? Examine the darker blue strip along the horizon in the painting. What might account for the change in blue? What clues are present to tell what time of day it is? What do you think Weeks wants us to under- stand about the figure in the painting? What do you think Weeks wants us to know about this camel? Camels are famous for being able to travel great distances on very little water. Research camels as a form of transportation and determine other places where they have been used as transportation. Why is only one Arab depicted and what does Weeks want to imply with that? If the desert is so hot and dry, why would those who live there cover themselves so completely? What might the Arab’s climate and religious beliefs have to do with the clothing being white and the brilliant color only being present on the saddle of the camel? Suggestions: Research the following American artist/explorers. Determine the degree to which they accurately repre- sented the cultures they documented. Locate information that reveals how their writing and illustrations shaped the attitudes of Americans about the west and its native inhabitants. Albert Bierstadt Ralph Blakelock Karl Bodmer Frederick Remington George Catlin Alfred Jacob Miller Titian Peale Worthington Whittredge Assessment Did students locate the writings and illustrations of European explorers and their companions regarding the people, animals and cultures encountered during their explorations? Did they locate examples of the accuracy of what explorers actually found, and what the inaccurately claimed to discover? Were students able to identify instances in which erroneous information from the explorers led to negative attitudes and stereotypes by Europeans? Did students examine the life of Edwin Lord Weeks, focusing on how his travels, as an explorer, were important to his art? Extending the Lesson Investigate how other explorers like Admiral Perry and Sir Edmund Hillary visually documented their travels. How did this process of documentation change with advancements in technology? What about explorers of the undersea world or outer space? Why do you think they don’t just write about what they see, why are pictures and illustrations still so important?

Students, also speculate about why certain routes were taken and how alternative routes or destinations might have altered today’s society. Time: hour. Materials Computers and internet Maps of the United States, Africa and the world Images of: Harriett Tubman, by Vernon Edwards and Migrants Arrive and Cast Their Vote, by Jacob Lawrence Vocabulary African Diaspora – the dispersal of African people and their cultures, both by voluntary and involuntary (slave trade) means.

    IN OUR TIME So far 2013 has been an exciting year at Swann. In January, a sale of illustration art and illustrated books established what will be a new department for us, while our reinstated Old Master Drawings auction drew crowds and much interest for a newly discovered J.M.W. Turner watercolor. February saw our best winter Vintage Posters auction ever, setting records for images by Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha, and love was in the air at our Valentine’s Day auction of African-American Fine Art, where paintings by Barkley L. Hendricks and Hughie Lee-Smith, as well as a sculpture by Elizabeth Catlett, achieved top-dollar results. We wrapped up the month with Fine Photographs, featuring early Asian travel albums and avant-garde modernist images, followed by scarce Early Printed Books. American and European artists divided the top lots at our March 7 Prints & Drawings auction, and the word of the day at our Writing Instruments sale was Montblanc, Montblanc, Montblanc. Looking ahead, May is a busy month full of intriguing offerings, including graphic design and typography from the inventory of the late Irving Oaklander, noted bookseller, followed by more scintillating design, typography and graphic art in our sale of modernist posters. Our Contemporary Art sale coincides with Frieze week in New York, and the month concludes with a diverse auction of Autographs. In early June a sale of Maps & Atlases offers rare items of American interest, and mid-month American Art features paintings and drawings by artists including Milton Avery, Robert Gwathmey and John Singer Sargent.

The exhibition features twenty-four pastels, drawings and large-scale paintings from the collections at the WCMFA, Mercersburg Academy, and Gettysburg College. Clutz arrived in New York in the 1950s as a peripatetic flâneur, walking through the streets of his Lower East Side neighborhood, astutely observing his fellow passers-by, and depicting them with a concerted awareness of the concentrated colors and painterly directness of the contemporary Abstract Expressionists.

    Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM Published on New York Social Diary (http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com) Home > Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat [1] By Sian Ballen & Lesley Hauge Photographs by Jeff Hirsch “If we didn’t know you were architects, we would have thought artists lived here,” we said about Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat’s lower Fifth Avenue loft. They were pleased. Known for their painterly use of color, it was fascinating to listen to their thoughts on this surprisingly complex subject of color in the lives of human beings. “The idea of choosing a color is people’s fear of making a choice,” says Peter. If you’re inspired by the photographs of their loft, check out their thought-provoking website (www. stambergaferiat.com) and especially their treatment of the Saguaro hotels in Palm Springs and Scottsdale, Arizona where they transformed dingy desert-colored buildings into brilliance. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 1 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM We’re interested in your name – “Aferiat” – where does it come from? Paul: My father was Algerian—did you see the Yves St. Laurent film? It is amazing, amazing! And he was born in Oran, which was where my father was born. My father became the president of Porthault in the US and I only visited Algeria when I was young. You have a good French accent—did you grow up speaking French? Paul: Well my mother was child of the Holocaust.

  • Painting Today and Yesterday in the US
    1941 Painting Today and Yesterday in the U.S. (June 5–September 1) Painting Today and Yesterday in the United States was the museum’s opening exhibition, highlighting trends in American art from colonial times onward as it reflected the unique culture and history of the United States. The exhibition also exemplified the mission of the SBMA to be a center for the promotion of art in the community as well as a true museum (Exhibition Catalogue, 13). The exhibition included nearly 140 pieces by an array of artists, such as Walt Kuhn (1877–1949), Yasuo Kuniyoshi (1889–1953), Charles Burchfield (1893–1967), Edward Hopper (1882–1967), and Winslow Homer (1836–1910). A very positive review of the exhibition appeared in the June issue of Art News, with particular accolades going to the folk art section. The Santa Barbara News-Press wrote up the opening in the June 1 edition, and Director Donald Bear wrote a series of articles for the News-Press that elaborated on the themes, content, and broader significance of the exhibition. Three paintings from this exhibition became part of the permanent collection of the SBMA: Henry Mattson’s (1873–1953) Night Mystery, Katherine Schmidt’s (1899–1978) Pear in Paper Bag and Max Weber’s (1881–1961) Winter Twilight (scrapbook 1941–1944–10). The theme of this exhibition was suggested by Mrs. Spreckels (Emily Hall Spreckels (Tremaine)) at a Board meeting and was unanimously approved. The title of the exhibition was suggested by Donald Bear, also unanimously approved by the Board. Van Gogh Paintings (September 9) Seventeen of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings were shown in this exhibition of the “most tragic painter in history.” This exhibition was shown in conjunction with the Master Impressionists show (see “Three Master French Impressionists” below).

Using formal educational opportunities as a way to escape the life intended for her, she found art to be a freeing and meaningful endeavor. She experimented greatly in both style and medium, working with movements such as the Ashcan school, Regionalism, and Cubism and creating works in watercolor, oil, encaustic, pencil, clay, and more, all in pursuit of a professional artistic career.

  • Winter Valley
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Lamar Dodd American, 1909 - 1996 Winter Valley 1944 oil on canvas overall: 97.3 x 128.1 cm (38 5/16 x 50 7/16 in.) framed: 119.4 x 149.2 x 7 cm (47 x 58 3/4 x 2 3/4 in.) Inscription: lower left: Lamar Dodd / 1944 Anonymous Gift 1971.3.1 ENTRY In 1937, 26-year-old Lamar Dodd was invited to serve as artist-in-residence at the University of Georgia in Athens, a town with a population of about 18,000 located on a hill above the Oconee River. He accepted the position and was appointed chairman of the art department the following year. Over the next decade he invited such noted American artists as Boardman Robinson, Thomas Hart Benton, and Yasuo Kuniyoshi to the campus. Dodd stated that his objective was “to produce not just a sensational regional scene, but to revive an interest in the truth of things.” [1] By 1949 he had transformed the University of Georgia’s art department into one of the best in the Southeast. Dodd was an active presence in the Athens community who brought this transformation about, as Life magazine expressed it, in “an un-bohemian way.” [2] Discussing Winter Valley, Dodd remarked, “I have no hesitation in saying that I consider this to be one of my best canvases.” [3] It is the sequel to his A View of Athens, a painting that was greeted with critical acclaim after it was exhibited at the 1939 World's Fair in New York and purchased by IBM in 1940.
